The story line was great and the quality of the animation was exceptional. I really felt my heart go out to Astro boy as he struggled to gain acceptance from his inventor/father and to gain acceptance from society. Despite it all, he showed charisma and true concern for others. Most of the children were under the age of 12. After the movie, people applauded. I heard a group of children growling and make the statement “I love that movie and I want to go to the movies everyday!!” That statement alone should give any parent a feel for the sort appreciation to expect from their own child.
I felt that this movie really had no point. A lot of special effects and some strong personality from the star character, but no real story development.
